SSSSSSSSSSS

CAPTAIN S: episode one is [mostly] in the can.


It was a letter day for low-budget cinema. The sky was gray, the pedestrians and lookie-loos were at church, and our cast / crew showed up on time and ready to go. After a week of preparation, stress, drama, and sweat, finally filming ridiculous scenes really made it all worth it. And - it all looks great. The performers, Brett, Devon, and Z did amazing jobs pulling every lovable moment out of their characters - especially Brett, who didn't lose his "Zach Morris Zing" all day. Props to everyone involved! The internet is gonna love us.


ps, pics to come...later. gotta get up at 4am tomorrow

hey internets,

I am way too busy plotting Captain S episodes to post anything noteworthy.

Superhuman Samurai . . Syber Squad!!


yesterday Shael turned 25.

I headed over to the Riley Bros. apartment (which they have totally taken over) the other day and, along with the legendary Brett "hey beech!" Vanderbrook, recorded some audio commentary for Nth Mile.

During the recording, Brett asked why JC wasn't there with us on the track. The embarrassing answer: I totally forgot about her when in my train of thought about the commentary. It just didn't click. My brain, or how it functions, gets me in trouble for dumb stuff like this, forgetting or excluding information when it could be really useful. It's gotten me in the dog house w/previous girlfriends, and now with Z, too. I just don't know what to do. There's a part of me that's very accepting that it's just degeneration on an already forgetful mind, that I'll have alseimers sooner than later, and that I should just suck it up and enjoy life before I forget my own name. The more studious side of me believes that there might be a cure out there, or a quick fix in the form of a memory-enhancing harddrive implant or maybe some 'Intelli-gum' that I could chew to gain more active memory.

Either way, I'm totally embarrassed when it happens. The funny thing: it never happens at work, or very rarely so. When I get home, "I turn my brain off", or so I used to tell people. It's somewhat true, and it's a part of my current mindset, be it harmful or stupid.

During the commentary, we drank horrible tasting shots of Jack Daniels every time P.Rappa smoked up, and chased that with a Power Hour of Coors Light. I dropped out at minute 22, my stomach too full of beer and pizza to continue forcing any more liquid inside. I don't usually drink at all, so it was kind of a big deal that I didn't get all crazy drunk from this.

Had a pow-wow with the Riley Bros., and decided that we're gonna crank out a new Captain S that's more like Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. TOmorrow we're doing Nth Mile audio commentary at 5, so we might just shoot it before then! Excitement!


btw, new Spidey 3 trailer!

PUNCH OUT!

I just got back from Nintendo World, a magical, two-story store in Rockefeller Plaza where anyone can enter and try out the Wii. The time was 12:00PM, Tuesday. I figured all the kiddies would be in school and the grown-up gamers would be eating something...greasy. I was right.

After waltzing in I was immediately weilding a nunchuck controller. Just like everyone had posted, it felt 'just right' in my hands. Light but solid, it felt like I could whip it around for hours and not strain my arms or wrists. A choice had to be made. I picked: Boxing.


I haven't been this excited about a console since the PS1. Playing the game just once was awesome! The way the characters moved, the way you controlled them, it was just like Punch Out! - in fact, it's only a matter of time before Lil' Mac comes back!

If you should walk outside my apartment in the months to come, you may hear sounds that resemble these.




...by the way, 90% of all large fish have disappeared from the planet. Thank you, goodnight!

CAPTAIN S IS COMING BACK!

is this my legacy?

random AIM (2:17:03 PM): hi, you don't know me, but I am a huge fan of x-strike studios and have been since february ever seeing river city rumble and I just recently saw project snake. I know it may seem weird that a random guy like me is IMing you, I just wanted to let you guys know that you are excellent in what you do and keep making these movies. I also hope you can succeed in making the very first america ninja movie that doesn't suck. Anyways, I heard from ben that you are filming today so I don't wanna interrupt anything. Peace

ladies beware

ps i OOOWWWWWW

I can't reveal the details (phone / IM me for the juice), but there was a hilarious accident on set today that halted production for the day, and threatens to push back our carefully laid plains. What happened was both ironic and completely random. If someone had planned and tried to create what happened, not in a thousand tries would it have worked out in the same fashion.



That being said, I'm still helping prep the next location. Locations and The Rigging Crew have been inside of Teddy's Bar in Williamsburg the entire week, with tomorrow being the last day. In just a couple of hours today, they hoisted a lighting grid up near the hundred-year-old silver ceiling. It's quite cool...check out the pics from this week thus far.

ps, Williamsburg has been called "Hipster Haven", but it's also a haven for graffiti artists! There's pretty awesome stuff on every block.
